Well my planned ride to the Horse Shoe Pass today ended somewhat short. Sat a set of lights which were on Red when some W@NKER decides to rear end me !!images/smilies/mad.gif Forcing me to drop the bike and James Bond roll onto the pavement! Shagged my back and ended up in hospital! Nothing too servious apart from a very sore back. Staff at the hospital were sooperb! Most importantly the ninja has only minor damage. But still have all the fecking mither of sorting it out !!images/smilies/mad.gif
So much for a weeks holiday to ride the bike!

Burt

Very sore and pi$$ed off.

Someone ran into my bike in the carpark in work a few weeks ago, I'm with Bennetts insurance and as the guy admitted liability, they supplied me with a hire bike whilst mine was being sorted (Hornets or Bandits). As a point, Get some muscle relaxants from the quack (the muscles go into spasm and you feel the cramp) and keep moving. Providing there is no real damage (just stretched ligaments etc) it will make you feel much better far quicker. This is effectively what osteopaths do with massage.

Bad luck anyway.

Ash

Scoobynetters arent having alot of luck out there it seems - cant be the weather - what's going on ?

Hope yr back is ok anyway - Ash's advice sounds spot on. I hope they admitted liability, and you can get it sorted quickly.

Sorry to hear that Burt, i hope the bloke that hit you hung about to face the music.

When you ride a bike, getting knocked off is one of the things that you come to expect. Unfortunatly its all part and parcel of riding nowadays.........and i'd swear that drivers are getting worse!:(

Glad the bikes not too bad, and you're just a bit sore, could have been alot worse.

Hey up Burt you northern monkey.

Sorry to hear about your little mishap and I know it's not funny but the mental picture of you doing a James Bond roll did raise a smile. Hopefully it hasn't made your dicky back any worse though.

Anyways, I've lost your numbers so drop us a mail so I can launch more abuse at you!

Cheers,

Taff
